The Jockey is back on the radio in Saratoga County

Radio station STAR 101.3 FM has once again become “The Jockey,” an identity it last had when Joseph A. Reilly, president of Empire Broadcasting Corp., last owned it 14 years ago. Reilly’s company once again owns the station, acquiring it in September from the Anastos Media Group.

“Racing is the heart and soul of Saratoga and so to rebrand the station as The Jockey is a natural,” Reilly said. “People want to know what is happening in Saratoga County. We provide more than the music.”

Empire also owns WABY 1160 AM and WPTR 1240 AM. Two other stations are leased to Time Warner Cable, which simulcasts YNN on them.
